Renal Fusion Abnormality - Horseshoe Kidney

In the horseshoe kidney there is typically a fusion of the lower poles of both kidneys.

  • During migration from the sacral region the two metanephric blastemas can come into contact mainly at the lower pole.
  • The ureters pass in front of the zone of fusion of the kidneys.
  • The kidneys and ureters usually function reasonably.
  • Increased incidence of upper urinary tract obstruction or infection.
  • Some horseshoe variations have been described as having associated ureter abnormalities including duplications.
